What you may not know, is that Smith Mountain Lake is not seeing the “gloom and doom” forecast that the media loves to feed us with a serving spoon each day. The lake has opened 4 new restaurants with a 5th getting ready to open, a brand new YMCA, and Downtown Moneta is buzzing with excitement. There are new upscale communities already in completion for the 2009 season. We also have a brand new Drive-In movie theater with a silver bullet retro diner as the snack shop and eatery.

Find a way now to OWN a piece of it. Rule #2 Enjoy your piece of the lake while it’s building equity. Rule #3 If you want more later…sell and bump up with the equity you’ve built! There is still something for everyone on at Smith Mountain Lake for 2009 and owning a piece of it while it’s still affordable is a much better retirement plan than playing any other market as you already know! ** But You Need To Hurry! ** Buyers are already here as we’ve had a very mild winter! **
If you’ve always dreamed of living on a lake, there is no better time than NOW to get the few the remaining bargains on Smith Mountain Lake.

Smith Mountain Lake Virginia: Did You Miss the Recession?
•January 4, 2010 • Leave a CommentVol. 4th and FINAL for 2009
Author Noreen Hartkern c. 2009
“Did I Miss It?”
If I had a $ for the number of ways you’ve been asking the question…
“Did I miss the recession?”
“Are there any ‘deals’ left?”
“Can I see a whole list of foreclosures?”
“What’s Left That I Can ‘Steal’?”
The answers are simple….Smith Mountain Lake is strong, resilient and steady in terms of it’s economic, demographic and financial growth year in and year out….and just to prove it once again, I’ve pulled all of the data so that you know I ALWAYS PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS! My background as an educator and programmer has never failed me in proving with solid data that Smith Mountain Lake has seen phenomenal sales for the past 10 years, despite setbacks like 9/11, the bubble crash, the recession, bank bailouts, etc… and although many of you will find this shocking, 2009 was no exception!
So, for those of you who love statistics and data, here is 2009 in a nutshell…
****The following report data will only be available until January 31, 2010****
after that you can email me for more data: noreenhartkern@yahoo.com
|
214 Smith Mountain Lake Waterfront Properties Sold and Closed 2009 Both Lots and Homes: Click to view listing(s) |
|
113 Smith Mountain Lake, (lake access with water rights) Sold and Closed 2009 |
|
28 Smith Mountain Lake Waterfront Properties Under Contract |
|
13 Smith Mountain Lake (lake access under contract) Pending |
|
That’s 368 Under Contract –Off the table steals in 2009 that are no longer available! |
| Why the end of February….because–for those of you who know me for the past few years…each and every year the Spring Market opens up by March 1st. New Listings come on the market, higher than the year before, and even old listings come on the market with higher price tags… as those sell, they become comps… Those of you who are poised to close or are looking now, have the right idea. The last deals are in the Winter months, year in, and year out, like clockwork! |

“True Lake Access with DEEDED Rights”:
The Cheapest Way to get near Smith Mountain Lake with ownership is to purchase Lake Access….but not just any Lake Access….Lake Access with a DEEDED BOATSLIP —this is the ONLY true way to “Own” a piece of the lake without being directly on it. It’s like being a block or a tier off of the beach. The land is just as valuable, so long as your deed/title say you own waterfront. The best waterfront to own is a dock. Dock rentals per year are up to $1,700-$2,500!

Going Green at Smith Mountain Lake, VA
•January 20, 2009 • Leave a CommentYes…we are already a “green powered lake” in more ways than one, considering that smith mountain dam provides hydroelectric power to area residents. But the typical home here still has 2-zone heatpump electric which can still add up on your monthly utility costs because AEP controls the billing. That’s winter and summer alike. For those of you from out of state, heat-pump is a combination heating and cooling system that almost never takes a break.
That’s why so many area residents are exploring, investigating and installing green technology into their own homes.
Here is a collection of resources that has allowed people like you and me to vastly improve their bottom line:
We are all familiar with Smith Mountain Lake winds and where the sun falls on our homes, whether or not we enjoy sunrise, sunsets or southern exposure to the lake. And that’s why, with just a little coaching and ingenuity we can all go “off-grid” in 2009!

People call me all the time and say “We’re here….where’s the lake?”.
The secret is… once you find your place on Smith Mountain Lake, you become part of that
little secret society…those who know the good life…
So let me give you a little history:
Smith Mountain Lake is Virginia’s second largest lake, now, home to premier
The lake was created by the damming of the Roanoke River at Smith Mountain Gap.
The Blackwater and Roanoke Rivers comprise Smith Mountain Lake. “Full pond” was
reached on March 7, 1966 and
the lake became the recreational capital of Southwest Virginia.
Lake activities abound with waterfront dining, miniature golf, boating, wake boarding and
How big is Smith Mountain Lake wakeboarding? Big enough to make movies and hold
competitions.
Seriously…check this out:
Fishing is so huge these days that Smith Mountain Lake holds the state record for citation
striped bass and
has been the home of the Bass Masters Tournament on ESPN. Check out the previous
link to see the article
that ESPN did on SML in 2007.
Here’s a picture of my buddy Mike with his favorite catch from Smith Mountain Lake.

During the fall of 1992 the movie “What about Bob?,” starring Bill Murray and Richard
Dreyfuss, was filmed on location on Smith Mountain Lake and in the nearby town of Moneta.
The signs and buildings in Moneta were repainted to portray the town of “Lake Winnipesaukee, NH”.
In case you’ve forgotten, here’s a great clip of the movie shot on Smith Mountain Lake featuring
Bill and Richard:
Yep, that’s a great shot of Smith Mountain Dam from 1992!
Since that time many celebrities have graced the shores of Smith Mountain Lake.
Smith Mountain Lake is a 20,000 acre lake, spanning 40 miles, and has over 500 miles of shoreline.
Located just 45 minutes from Downtown Roanoke and Lynchburg,
the lake features a state park with beaches and camping, as well as two cruise ships;
The Southern Belle and the Virginia Dare. Smith Mountain Lake boasts its own
Movie Theatre at Westlake, shops, restaurants, luxury homes, Lakehouse and Lake Lot Communities,
townhomes, and condominiums, making the lake a premiere resort and retirement destination.
